    We stayed here for 4 nights. The ac worked great, the beds were very comfortable and the room was clean. Honestly the only issues we had were that we could never use the pool because it closed too early and the food court was expensive and not great choices.

    This hotel was a bummer. We stayed here for price and convenience to the Sphere, but it's true when they say you get what you pay for. The check-in line was so long. Thank goodness I was able to use their express check-in line. We stayed in I believe was called the "GO" rooms. It was two queen beds. When they say basic, they truly mean basic. Shampoo, conditioner, and body wash was mid. There was no coffee maker or coffee. Surprised that they even had a fridge in the room! The plus side was that the beds were comfy. I wish there were more seats to be able to get ready. As far as downstairs go, everything seemed like it was under construction. If I come to the Flamingo again, I'll probably try to pay to stay in the other side of the resort.

    I stay somewhere different every time I come to Vegas and I have mixed feelings about the Flamingo. The negatives: Dark room, not good lighting Lamp on desk didn't work/maybe needed a lightbulb? No coffee maker!! Rusty shower head/water was hard to turn on & off...called Maintenance but it was late and no one answered Dated fixtures/peeling finish on nightstand Toiletries (shampoo/shower gel) but no lotion Resort fee was high (I only used Internet so $59.95 plus tax was ridiculous for that!!) Positives: Had a fridge Convenient location!! Decent restaurants/Starbucks/food (Loved Havana 157 and Cortadito!!) Good shops (but most weren't open early enough for us working folks) Easy/convenient checkout Was able to check in early at a lower rate than other hotels previously...I think they gave me a deal, and I appreciated it! Loved the flamingos! Loved the garden and fountain Loved all the pink!! (Even the curtains in my room were hot pink) Didn't get to use the pool due to work but next time! Overall I enjoyed my stay and would return.

    GETTING HERE: It's Vegas baby! Turn on your navigation, follow the signs, and you will land right to it. Just an FYI, the parking can be very convoluted on your first try (at least it was for us.) But once you've parked here, you'll forever get it straight. REVIEW: I thought this was going to be an ^updated review, but I realized I've never reviewed the FLAMINGO. Let's rectify that now. This visit a few months ago hurt. It really hurt. I won't wax poetic about old Vegas and how things have changed in 2026. It just makes me so sad to see the FLAMINGO turning into shambles. The service absolutely sucked. From the front desk staff to the bartenders to the dealers, and more. Everybody hated their job and it was painfully clear that everybody hated their job. The only relative pleasant experience we had was stealing with the housekeeping support staff on our floor. Also, if you are in the rooms above the LINQ promenade, be sure to bring some earplugs. There's a Mexican restaurant that plays techno music until two and 3 o'clock in the morning. Finally, after two nights of this, we advocated for ourselves and move to a different room. Asking for that accommodation was beyond painful in and of itself. But with the amount of money that we paid to stay at the FLAMINGO, we should have been treated to a better experience. At the bare minimum we should've been able to sleep without issue - and not been treated with such disdain and disgust when advocating for ourselves to change rooms. We just needed sleep. As of this Spring 2026 review, I would caution you to stay here at your own risk - risk of no sleep and horribly rude service.

    Very disappointed with the service from an employee named Thrash. We waited patiently to order, but felt we were treated differently than other customers. After I paid for our drinks, he rudely told us to move. When I asked for a second, he moved my drink and refused to hand it to me, saying, "If you want it, you need to move." The interaction was disrespectful and left us feeling we were treated differently because of our race. I hope management addresses this and ensures all customers are treated with respect.

    The Flamingo is one of the OG casinos and hotels on the Las Vegas Strip. Many other properties have other ways to stand out against the competition. What does Flamingo have? That's right! Actual flamingos!

    The good: Flamingo has a lot of nostalgia and cheery things about it. It is located in the middle of the strip.. so either north or south you can walk to your new adventures, or favorites if this isn't your first rodeo. Traveling by bus to go south to see the Fabulous Las Vegas sign on the blvd, (south of strip) take some time to DL the RTC app and purchase your passes. You will be ahead in many ways to save time... you can buy passes for your whole group and carry them and scan them all in.. on one phone. I love the RTC travel system... and the drivers are patient while you scan passes!! There are many ways to purchase your ride passes though. The bad: Flamingo has an arrogant desk man who had to tell us he's been there for "17 years..." yada yada ... I was just wanting to check in early. The prices to check in early are hefty for a basic no large fridge/no microwave/ no coffee makers in rooms/no frills hotel. It's either an early 9am check in, not sure what the extreme fee was. Or 11am early check in $40 per room or 1pm early check in $20 per room. Then they tack on a resort fee, and taxes.. I purchased my stays through Southwest Airlines Vacations, which is a good deal. But you'll pay all but a few hundred due to resort fees, taxes, etc etc. MAKE SURE YOU GET AN ITEMIZED PRINT OUT. They emailed me mine, and stated I got an 158.00 credit, which I have yet to find on my credit card. So SW vacations tell you upfront you'll pay the rest upon check in. The rooms are dated. Luckily, we got two rooms on the strip view. The pool was crowded for families, even for a Monday! Wow. I have gotten sick by witnessing brown mucous like floaties in the family pool. Lifeguards don't tell peeps to leave their drinks out of the pool. There are kids wearing shoes in the pool. Plus the bottom of the family pool has a loose grind substance that will rub against your bare feet.. sharp and gravel like. Diabetic patients, pay attention to that. Flamingo is no Palazzo or Venetian, you get what you pay for, but no bang for your buck. I can imagine it's "hey day" was 40 years ago. Stay hydrated and checkout more other Caesar's Entertainment properties. Reddit or Google the break ins and robberies* of hotel rooms. There are many victims that complained of being robbed while sleeping. There are no security in this hotel, nor a card reassertions for the elevators to your room for safety. This is all of Las Vegas not just the Flamingo Hotel. Pay attention to your surroundings!! I also had casino rewards here. The customer service for the rewards card holders, had completely disregarded my request. I had to tell the customer service representative that I have stayed before... and had rewards accrued. I know the economy is worsening by the millisecond, but act as if you love helping people while at your job. Las Vegas is only for the wealthy. Come on Las Vegas, bring money saving back. You're ripping us all off.

    The Flamingo sits mid-strip and is a longtime favorite. It offers its wildlife habitat, a Cuban coffee bar, and Lisa Vanderpump's adorable Pinky cocktail bar. It also sits near the Linq Promenade which offers shopping and several restaurants. We had a fun time playing cheaper slots and after $3 in a nickel machine, I cashed out $121. Not bad! My experience is from a casino and hotel visit (rather than a person staying overnight).

    The flamingoes are fine! I traveled to Vegas just a few days after the Canadian stole a flamingo and brought him up to his room! (No joke, check need outlets.) Some the flamingoes are back to enjoying that Vegas life. But you now cannot get as close and a Falmibgo employee in onneatch at all times for the safety of the flamingos. A crane was trying to fly but he couldn't. And it was sad to watch so we moved along. Great spot for photos. After all these years of traveling to Vegas I never once thought about looking at the flamingoes. Glad I checked in on them.

    I went to Flamingo hotel & casino to visit the wildlife sanctuary. The elevators in the parking garage (that cost $25 to park at) weren't working properly. Most people had to take the stairs. For $25 there should be more elevators & all functional, especially going into the summer. The wildlife habitat is amazing.

    My absolute favorite Strip hotel! Can't wait to return this summer Out of all the properties in Las Vegas, The Flamingo is hands down my absolute favorite hotel on the Strip, and I have stayed here many times! It just gives you that perfect, unmatched mix of nostalgic old-school Vegas charm, high energy, and central convenience. The rooms are always super clean and cozy, and walking through the Wildlife Habitat to see the actual flamingos is always a good time, especially on my way to the new Pinky's -- a Vanderpump, swanky restaurant with a killer cocktail menu and ambiance. Understandably , the only bummer of our recent December stay was that the pool deck was closed for the winter. We're absolutely dying to check out the newly renovated GO Pool! Because we missed out on seeing the upgrades, we are actually looking to book **two** stays back here this summer just so we can finally get the full pool-party experience. As a regular, I always love my time here. Counting down the days until we are back at our favorite spot for beach club season--see y'all soon!!

    Free hair in shower. Ripped up furniture. Shower has no cold water, only hot. Sink faucet loose and entire fixture turn when you turn handle, making a lovely squeaking sound. 3 trips to lobby to get room changed. Toilet in new room runs constantly and doesn't flush. Expensive and mediocre food ($27 to $34+ for a hamburger)... at a low/mid-tier value hotel - more than the hamburgers at The Venetian. People aren't booking Flamingo to eat $30 burgers. Parking deck that hasn't been cleaned in forever. You win Caesars, I give up. Tried my best to tolerate all the constant issues with Caesars hotels here and there, as I've been with the company for more than a decade, but hitting guest with 5-6 issues same trip finally broke me. Are we having fun yet? On a positive note, the Flamingos have their own personal security detail now.

    We had 2 separate stays at Flamingo within 1 week: King room with prime strip view (Bellagio fountain, Caesar with Omnia) and double Queens with Sphere view. Both of them are amazing for such prizes with the views. We always stay at Flamingo for all our business and personal trips. The resort and casino are always clean and well decorated. You can walk to many different stores, restaurants and attractions nearby within 5-10 minutes. Book in advance for better deals :)

    Ask the Community - Flamingo Las Vegas

    Do they have Pai Gow? Does anybody know what time the table opens? Thanks.

    What's the most reasonable priced place to eat on property?

    I would say the Food Court as it has pizza place, burger joint, and Asian food.

    Do they you hold luggage if you get there early and you still have time to check in?

    I'm sure you can. I think all the hotels will let you check your luggage before or after you check in / check out. Make sure to tip!

    Does anyone here try to book the 2queen bed with bunk bed?? How is it?? How many can fit?

    That's not a thing.

    What are the resort fees? I've read some places are waiving them to bring in customers.

    Everyone is correct, I just checked out on Sunday and it was $45.30 per day. Yikes.

    Do any of the newly remodeled Flamingo rooms have pool views on low floors?

    No why would they.

    How late can you check in?

    Late arrival - The Front Desk is open 24 hours. They do not begin canceling reservations until around 3am. not sure if your requested room/floor would still be available after… 

    How much is deposit per night?

    $50

    Is the pool open ? Hours?

    Yes, the pool is open.When I was there last month they were allowing 90 people. first come,first serve.They opened at 10 am

    How much is deposit.? Is cash accepted for deposit or debit card accepted? Will be traveling there end of the month.

    Deposit must be secured using Credit or Debit. No cash is accepted.

    Do they have room service?

    Not at this time

    How and when do I go about reserving a spot at the smaller pool?

    U have to get on the reservation list through txt message. Ask a employee they should give you business cards that have the number to txt to reserve a spot.

    Does anybody have an photos from Go Deluxe wheelchair accessible room? Or have any experience being paraplegic staying at this hotel?

    I would personally call the Casino Directly, they will tell you all access to and from the Casino with the accessibly to accommodate your needs.

    Is there full body mirrors in the rooms? What is the resort fee per night Is there an shuttle from…

    I don't recall having a full body mirror in my room. I don't remember the resort fee about 35.00 per day. I couldn't get a shuttle so took a taxi. Wi-Fi is free.

    Is April full of party people ? Lol

    Ya once they open up the pool, like spring break time ish.. it's hella poppin lol highly recommended

    How is the air conditioning inthe rooms? In May 2019, our room wouldn't get cooler than 77 degrees. We love the location though. When did you stay there? It was my husband's 47th time there. The customer service was not very good either

    We was there in November and our conditioner didn't work we had them come up and they gave us some ridiculous story about how they adjusted it where it wouldn't get warm I would never stay at this place again if you look at my reviews I have almost… 

    If the pools are closed here in the winter can you use the pool at another one of the Caesars properties like Paris?

    No, you have to pay a fee to get into the other property pools. But all pools will be closed in October.

    How much is valet parking?

    About $24 per day

    How much is the holding fee? Also parking?

    I'm staying in the new bunk rooms for a bachelorette this summer. Does anyone have any additional info or pics of the bunk rooms? Also, any tips/advice on good deals for bachelorette other then the normal ones?

    The beds are more like fulls than it is queens which is what you see on the website. But still comfortable. The room does have a chaise and a chaise lounger so if you have more people getting a bit tipsy they can crash there. No full body mirror so…

The room accommodations were a major highlight. The bed and pillow combination was the most comfortable I have ever experienced, and I really enjoyed the bathroom, which featured excellent water pressure in both the tub and shower. Dining was also a success--the street tacos, nachos, and ramen were delicious, and our breakfast of muffins, bagels, and coffee was spot on. The staff throughout the resort were amazing, and although the pool was a bit crowded, it was kept very clean. While we had a wonderful time, there were some lapses in room service that need improvement. Unfortunately, our room was not thoroughly cleaned during our stay: the table was not cleared after our room service meal, there was some trash left on the floor, and the bathtub had not been properly scrubbed. Additionally, we had to call for a refill on basic items like napkins. Despite those housekeeping oversights, we had a great time and are already planning our return to this hotel!

If you book with Amex, the additional bonuses make this well worth it. In town for a couple days, I booked my stay here with my wife, hoping for somewhere that would offer us options on-property we'd like checking out in case we didn't have time to get to the strip. This area of town isn't always fantastic, as we had less than amazing times at the Conrad, and across the street is the infamous Circus Circus which I won't get into lol. Soon as you walk in, I just love what they've done with the place. Elegant sculptures and architecture mixed with that really nice champagne and ocean blue theme really draw you in. The colors are relaxing, understated, ooze that luxury vibe. I didn't do any gambling but I liked the layout of the floor, they had a bar in the center too like a mini Chandelier Bar ala Cosmopolitan which was a nice touch. Given I booked through Amex Platinum they afford you a really nice amenity package that includes $70/day breakfast credits, a $100 towards drinks/food, wifi credits, and a pass apparently to the Poodle Room, a private bougie club with a dress code that unfortunately was closed only during the days I was there (super bummer!). We had a chance to eat at a few places, Vida, Chez Bon Bon, Komodo, all were really nice and good. Prices are a little high but this is typical in Vegas, the credits took the edge off so that promotion is a key factor in our visiting those locations. I would say though I'd love to see more restaurants open late, aside from Komodo. We were hoping to check out the washed potatoes but it closed too early. Also, while I didn't go, we had just got back from Mexico City last year and seeing Contramar opening a place up here is a fantastic addition. If they are anything like their MC location, you are in for a real treat with that. Absolutely killer seafood. The room which I got the upgrade for was stellar, we had a Panorama Suite, and it was by and large one of the best rooms I've had in Vegas, especially at the price I got it for. While the views are obviously not amazing given the location on the strip, I would definitely book that room again to host friends, etc. You do get to see the mountains which is nice at sunrise. They are a bit more secure at this facility, one thing I hadn't experienced in Vegas was the room key checks before the elevators. I understand the policy but I'd like to make special mention that when we came back from dinner the second night a taller dark skinned gentlemen, older, stopped us and was incredibly rude about it. We had no clue about the policy, and I mean I'm not stuck up at all, I'm a down to earth guy, but this guy acted like such a prick, I came back down to have a word with him about it. He had been swapped with two folks who were infinitely nicer who explained the reasoning for these checks in more detail and apologized on his behalf. Frankly, that's not good enough and management should really pull that guy off that station, you don't talk to people like that, and while it's not enough that I'd dog the property, less patient individuals definitely would. But I digress, this property hosts a lot of high end clientele, so they definitely take room security seriously which for some I assume is a plus. All in all I think this is a well kept property, with easy access to the strip, but enough local options to keep you busy during a short stay. With the added Amex bonuses, there is value to be found without a compromise to the luxury, I would definitely return here with pleasure.

First reason this establishment lost a star. Second star was removed because the signage in this Casino is horrendous. There is one arrow for Stadium Swim pointing over to the right side after you've walked in that sends you to heaven. Literally points up to perhaps where the pool might be located, but it is not the path to get there. For anyone trying to get there, walk in and go to the elevator and go to 2. Then you have to take an insanely scary escalator to the top of the building. An employee said it's the tallest escalator in Vegas at 3 stories high. If you are afraid of heights at all, you'll want to request elevator access to the pool instead. The third and fourth star have been removed because my car was taken for a joy ride while I was at stadium swim. I imagine this was because it's a convertible. The man that I handed my keys to asked if I was attending the finale and he must have felt confident he'd have the time for a little fun. My tank was almost completely empty and mileage was increased. I will never park here again.

The heat of Vegas is coming . Let's stay cool . Are you looking to stay off the strip and for a few days they give discounts when you book extra days in a row. They offer natural lighting from the outdoors for the casino. The parking is free here and it's not clustered with all sorts of Las Vegas traffic. It's safer than the strip too. Close to all sorts of things to do and see! It's probably more locals focused and offers around two hundred rooms. This hotel still has that new smell, with fresh paint type of air. The gambling is on point . The sports book is all open ready for your bets. It's unique too comes connected to the George Restaurant and its features indoor and outdoor seating . Wow! And it's not even busy . Again they have a bar called Drink with indoor and outdoor seating too . The prices are lower than the ridiculous ones that's on the strip. Come out and see what's happening with a little slower part of Vegas . Play some table games or try your luck at something other digital game. The black jack tables are low at a ten dollar minimum. Remember to stay here too the hotel rooms are new and truly lovely! What's not to love that new Casino Smells here at the Durango Casino.

I understand there is a need for a second tower and more parking space but the garage sucks. For starters, the first floor is just valet. It makes it hard with my mom who uses a mobility scooter to get into elevators. Also, they put the good parking spots behind a pay wall so you have to walk quite a bit to get onto the elevators no matter what. The thing that bothered me the most is that they got rid of what made Durango so gorgeous and unique, which is the fact that it had a lot of natural light coming in through both types of the Casino's giant glass doors, now all of that is sealed off, making it look like a warehouse. Obviously nothing to be done anymore, but a completely different feel

While we were here this time we indulged in some ice cream and really enjoyed the hand made ice cream. It really tasted handmade with bits of real strawberries in it. Last time we were here it was a special occasion and we went all out. We walked all though the strip just to get here to ride the gondola. Boy was that fun. No, it wasn't the same as the ones in Venice (I know because I've been in Venice and ridden one of their gondolas), but you know that going in. You're in Vegas so I didn't expect the same thing. I was looking forward to the Vegas version of this classic ride and I got it. Was it over priced? Yes. At the same time you get what you pay for. A fun ride around the camels in the Venetian Resort in Las Vegas. There was supposed to be an photographer taking our picture so we can buy at the end, but his camera malfunctioned so we didn't get the shot. This was a huge disappointment as I'm all about pictures and I really wanted the opportunity to see the glamorous shot the professional photographer took and if it captured the. Moment like i had I would have bought it. Fortunately we weren't totally relaying on him. We brought our own camera and took the perfect shot with the gondolier in the background and the bridge when you come out. It was perfect. You didn't have all the busyness of Vegas in the background. I'm overly thrilled with my photo, I got exactly what I paid for a fun ride and the perfect shot to frame and remember this day. And yes, I really did frame it and it sits on my piano. As long as you know what you're paying for, it's totally worth it. And now that you've seen my shot and know that it's taken at the end of the ride when you come out from under the bridge, you can get the same shot too. Have fun and enjoy Vegas and the Venetian. Maybe even walk around the quaint streets and have some ice cream after your ride.

For the Hotel/Resort: The basic rooms here are better than the majority of other strip hotels. I personally think its top 3, even a small upgrade here gets you a very spacious room. I have stayed in the regular rooms and suites at both The Venetian and The Palazzo. The venetian rooms are more updated, but the Palazzo rooms are good too. The self parking has a lot of spaces but ingress/egress is easier at The Palazzo. However the valet parking here is faster compared to other resorts. The rideshare pickup/dropoff is good too. The casino floor is bright, clean, and good gaming variety. For the slots, I like that they have both old and new machines. I like the older "top dollar" and "run for your money" machines. I also like some of the new machines like KONG . They also have a great variety of video poker, blackjack, roulette, and craps! I have yet to play at the tables here but they have a good variety. The beverage service is good, but coverage/timing could be improved. I feel like some parts of the casino floor do not get as much service. They also have a great variety of food and restaurant options for all budgets. My personal favorite here is Estiatorio Milos. A close second would be SushiSamba. However, I have never had a bad meal here. I also recommend Sugarcane, Chica, Cote, and Smith/Wollensky. I still want to try the other options here! Overall great place to stay or check out. I always leave here feeling great!

It has a modest casino with a busy restaurant serving up large sized entrées 24/7. The rack of baby back ribs is impressive and for breakfast you can't beat the plate-sized chicken fried steak and eggs. The hotel accommodations, including swimming pool, are clean and up-to-date. Because of an unfortunate incident, which could have gone badly, it was their Management that stepped up and created a resolution that put smiles on everyone's faces. It is quite refreshing to witness an establishment that goes above expectations and truly cares about its guests! I have no hesitation of highly recommending Ellis Island Hotel and Casino.

The cocktail was tasty. Inside the restaurant the server greeted us warmly and was very friendly. Large fans keep the dining area cool, and there's a TV visible. I thought there might be outdoor seating, but I didn't see any; the upstairs area was closed for a private event. Our server was excellent and very attentive. We ordered chicken wings and green beans, but the side dish took a long time to arrive. When the food did come, everything was hot and fresh. The chicken wings were especially good -- I recommend the plain, well-done wings; they were spot on. The green beans, however, were disappointing. They arrived later, were soft rather than crisp, and tasted underseasoned -- maybe a little more salt would help. Overall, the place is decent. I would return, but I'm not in a hurry to go back.

Came with all the benefits of the FHR program, including a daily $60 breakfast credit (that could be used at a choice of 7 different shops/restaurants) and a $100 food credit to be used at a HUGE list of MGM restaurants (it's nice because it doesn't even need to be within the Cosmo ). We checked in around 12noon but our room wasn't available until around 3:30pm. Pros: - overall, a very convenient and central location on the strip for everything we wanted to do - used our $100 credit at Best Friend at Park MGM, was a super easy process to just give them our room number at the Cosmo ( you do have to show your ID to do this and it has to be the name on the hotel reservation) - room has a great view of the strip during the day and night - you can watch the bellagio fountain show at night and it's a beautiful aerial view - comfortable clean room, with good bed, firm pillows, good shower pressure. - used our breakfast credit at District Donuts in the food court downstairs, was a nice touch to not have to pay for breakfast - the Cosmo itself is very fun with lots of lounges and restaurants within it - perfect if you don't want to walk outside in the hot summer sun. We had a great time at Ski Lodge for cocktails - overall all the staff we interacted with were super nice and professional - kind of an upscale very young people vibe inside, with the iconic chandeliers etc - I did like that they have kiosks where you can activate your room keys without standing in line again , once your room is ready (app gives you a QR code ) - easy taxi drop off location , convenient - lots of clean nice bathrooms throughout the hotel so you never have to worry about emergencies - the art everywhere is fun and risqué Cons: - whole hotel definitely smells like smoke - which is kind of to be expected on the strip. However I didn't realize how bad it was until we walked through Park MGM and my asthmatic lungs could breathe better lol - the check in process was disappointing. I understand that a room might not be ready at noon - but they said a text would come when the room was ready. We got the preliminary text telling us a text would come soon to confirm our room, but it never came. We happened to luckily check the MGM app randomly while eating elsewhere and saw the room was ready. I feel like people who weren't as on top of checking the app may have spent the whole day thinking the room wasn't ready, boo. - the checkout process was also crappy - we had late checkout at 4pm, and shortly before that we tried checking out at the kiosks in the lobby - but they didn't work for us or the party next to us also trying to check out and get their folio. Overall it seemed like the system wasn't really up to speed? Also saw other people at the kiosk struggling with checking in as well. - the elevators were VERY hot and stuffy. No AC or fans running. I found myself complaining about this repeatedly like the princess that I am - around 11am checkout time be prepared - there was a ride where it stopped on almost every floor on the way down, and every stranger in the elevator stuffed full of bodies complained about the same thing. AC and air circulation changes the whole elevator experience. - our bathroom toilet room smelled like sewage the entire stay and I'm not sure why. It's also unfortunate because the toilet room door is one that doesn't go to the ceiling or to the floor, so it can feel weird if you're sharing your room with other people. - on the morning of our last day we were running out of toilet paper (having chosen the environmental choice of skipping housekeeping the days before) and called housekeeping to bring a roll. They said it would "be right up", and it never came. - funny complaint that is not that big of a deal but since I'm out here giving feedback I might as well - the toilet room doesn't have any place to place your phone (you know How some toilet paper dispensers have a little tray on top to place your phone? This one doesn't have it ) - I know we shouldn't be taking our phones to the bathroom anyway - but in this scenario I was using it as a flashlight to not wake up my husband LOL so I did the gross thing and put my phone on the back of the toilet Overall - it did the job, and the location was prime for this particular trip and what we wanted to do. Also the Amex platinum credit was very helpful in making this stay feel worth it - I think I would've felt like the experience was subpar had I paid full price. The random weird things about the room like the smell and the elevators really bugged me for some reason. I would be open to staying here again for the right price and event. It definitely did not blow me away.
